FOREWORD 


DURING  the  last  decade,  in  the  mad  rush  for  architectural  re- 
| ju venation,  few  have  had  the  time  and  opportunity  to  make  a 
very  careful  survey  of  the  interior  architecture  of  our  early 
domestic  work. 

The  frequent  publication  of  books  on  most  phases  of  this  sub- 
ject has  had  its  good  effect,  but  they  have  been  perhaps  too  reticent 
as  to  the  interior  arrangement  and  woodwork  of  the  houses  in  which 
our  forefathers  lived. 

In  reviewing  these  old  houses  one  constantly  notes  the  analogy 
between  them  and  the  contemporary  buildings  in  England.  Whether 
the  similarity  in  design  to  be  observed  in  so  many  of  them  was  the 
result  of  the  constant  influence  on  the  work  of  the  colonies  by  the 
mother  country,  or  whether  they  were  simply  divergent  through  re- 
lated branches  of  the  earlier  work  in  England,  it  is  difficult  to  de- 
termine. 

We  know  that  communication  with  England  was  regular,  and 
that  there  was  a constant  interchange  of  architectural  ideas,  both  in 
the  form  of  books,  by  personal  visits,  and  the  immigration  of  archi- 
tects and  men  of  all  the  crafts. 

My  idea  in  compiling  this  book  is  to  offer  to  the  architect  and  lay- 
man a more  complete  summary  of  the  various  existing  examples  of 
early  American  interiors,  and  I have  endeavored  to  make  it  primarily 
a pictorial  summary  rather  than  a documentary  one. 

Even  within  a field  of  such  obvious  limitations,  a work  of  this  kind 
involves  indebtedness  to  many;  my  thanks  are  here  tendered  to  those 
who  have  most  generously  helped  me  by  the  loan  and  gift  of  photo- 
graphs and  measurements:  to  my  friend  Donald  Green  Tarpley,  for 
his  companionship  and  assistance  in  our  trips  for  data;  to  The  So-

INTRODUCTION 

THE  Colonial  Architecture  of  the  seventeenth  and  eighteenth 
centuries  and  the  post-Colonial  work  of  the  early  years  of  the 
Republic  constitute  an  artistic  possession  of  which  our  country 
has  become  somewhat  tardily  aware.  This  delightful  work,  so  much 
of  which  possesses  real  distinction,  serves  both  as  a link  with  the  past 
and  as  a guide  for  the  future. 

The  tradition  which  it  represents  has  been  of  continuous  growth. 
From  century  to  century  and  from  country  to  country  this  tradition 
had  spread,  ever  adding  to  itself  new  qualities  of  structure  or  decora- 
tion as  it  responded  to  the  varied  needs  and  tastes  of  the  nations  in 
which  it  thrived.  It  was  associated  most  closely  with  the  civilization 
of  the  west,  although  its  earliest  roots  were  laid  in  eastern  soil.  From 
early  Greece  to  Renaissance  England  is  a far  cry,  but  the  distance  was 
traversed  by  such  easy  stages,  by  such  natural  growth,  that  its  course 
is  not  difficult  to  follow. 

The  ideals  of  this  architectural  tradition  of  western  Europe  were 
those  which  the  colonists  to  America  brought  with  them  when  they 
introduced  the  standards  of  western  civilization  into  the  new  conti- 
nent. The  study  of  how  this  tradition  was  acted  upon  by  influences 
of  climate  and  material,  by  economic  and  social  characteristics,  and 
by  the  taste  and  craftsmanship  in  the  new  country,  comprises  a fasci- 
nating chapter  in  the  history  of  art. 

The  first  permanent  settlers  in  the  colonies  brought  with  them  the 
traditions  of  sixteenth-century  provincial  England.  In  the  great 
houses  of  the  English  nobles  the  influence  of  the  Renaissance  had 
begun  to  predominate;  but  in  the  modest  homes  of  the  middle  class,  the 
small  manors  and  peasant  cottages,  the  late  Gothic  flavor  of  sixteenth- 
century  England  had  not  been  disturbed.  The  early  settlers  in  New 
England  were  of  this  middle  class,  whose  preferences  were  wholly 


v 


Introduction 


in  favor  of  those  forms  with  which  they  were  familiar  and  in  whose 
construction  their  craftsmen  were  well  versed. 

For  this  reason,  the  earliest  work  in  the  new  country  carried  on 
the  late  Gothic  traditions  of  Elizabethan  England,  houses  with  steep 
gables  and  high  pitched  roofs,  overhanging  upper  stories,  small  win- 
dows often  leaded  and  with  a structure  whose  disposition  recalled  the 
half-timber  work  in  which  the  builders  were  skilled.  The  high  pitched 
roofs  were  of  practical  use  to  shed  the  heavy  snowfall  of  the  long 
winters;  the  overhanging  stories  were  relics  of  the  medieval  town 
dwelling  and  were  transplanted  without  the  compulsion  of  necessity 
in  the  new  land. 

The  interiors  of  this  period  were  simple  and  crude.  The  one  or 
two  room  floor  plan  centered  about  the  great  chimney  whose  enor- 
mous fireplace  dominated  one  wall  of  each  room.  This  fireplace  wall 
was  frequently  covered  with  wooden  planks  set  vertically,  their  joints 
moulded.  The  ceiling,  heavily  beamed,  was  constructed  usually  with 
a great  central  summer  beam  into  which  were  entered  the  smaller 
beams,  carrying  from  it  to  the  outside  walls.  The  walls  of  the  rooms 
might  be  roughly  plastered,  sheathed  with  boards  the  whole  of  their 
height  or  a part  of  it.  The  windows  were  small,  set  high  and,  when 
glass  was  used,  fitted  with  leaded  quarries  in  the  casements.  The 
floors  of  wide  boards  were  covered  with  rush  or  clean  sea-sand. 

The  furniture  of  the  times  was  comparatively  large  in  scale,  and 
the  essential  quality  of  a room  of  this  period  was  the  curious  one  of 
scale  given  by  large  and  heavy  furniture  in  comparatively  small  and 
low  ceiled  rooms. 

Toward  the  end  of  the  seventeenth  century  and  by  the  early  years 
of  the  eighteenth  century,  the  Italian  influences,  which  had  by  that 
time  finally  established  themselves  in  England,  began  to  find  their 
way  to  America  with  the  increasing  frequency  of  communication. 
The'  exterior  signs  of  their  change  in  taste  and  usage  are  contained 
in  the  symmetrical  placing  of  the  windows  and  doors,  the  emphasis 
upon  horizontality  rather  than  verticality,  by  the  use  of  band  courses 
and  definitely  marked  cornices,  and  the  employment  of  dormer  win- 
dows. 

On  the  interiors  the  change  is  noticed  in  the  covering  of  the  beams 
with  a plastered  ceiling,  the  introduction  of  stile  and  rail  paneling, 
the  tendency  to  increase  the  ceiling  heights,  the  enlargement  of  the 


VI 


Introduction 


window  openings,  which  were  filled  with  double  hung  sash  with  wood 
muntins,  and  in  some  cases  the  reduction  in  size  of  the  fireplace 
openings.  The  plan,  too,  had  evolved  into  a greater  elaboration.  The 
central  hall  running  through  the  house  and  four  rooms  opening  from 
it,  the  stairway  as  an  architectural  feature,  two  or  four  chimneys  at 
the  ends  of  the  house  rather  than  one  in  the  center,  are  a few  of  the 
innovations  which  marked  this  important  change  in  taste.  Such 
changes  were  not  alone  dictated  by  taste,  but  were  equally  influenced 
by  economic  conditions.  Much  of  the  old  tradition  in  planning  lin- 
gered, particularly  in  the  frontier  section,  well  along  into  the  late 
eighteenth  century,  and  no  hard  and  fast  rule  can  be  laid  down  for  the 
beginning  of  a certain  innovation  or  the  end  of  a particular  usage. 

The  decorative  elements  of  the  interior  chiefly  distinguish  these 
earlier  eighteenth-century  houses  from  those  of  the  latter  half  of  the 
century.  The  run  mouldings  are  bold,  almost  coarse  in  scale;  there  is 
comparatively  little  carved  decoration  and  that  confined  to  a simple 
spotting  of  detail,  the  bolection  moulding  finds  its  place  around  the 
fireplaces  and  in  some  cases  around  wall  panels.  The  simple  quarter- 
round  moulding  frames  most  of  the  panels  of  the  wainscot,  while 
architrave  details  were  universally  applied  to  window  enframement. 
Mantel  shelves  were  the  exception  rather  than  rule,  and  little  or 
no  use  of  pilasters  occurred.  The  woodwork  and  walls,  if  the  latter 
were  unpaneled,  were  painted  in  strong  colors,  the  floors,  too,  were 
frequently  painted,  sometimes  stenciled  in  designs. 

The  work  of  the  mid-eighteenth  century  carried  on  in  general  the 
same  features  as  those  mentioned  above.  There  was  a slightly  in- 
creased refinement  in  detail,  a more  architectonic  use  of  orders  and 
classic  motives,  carving  was  used  more  freely  in  mantelpieces,  cor- 
nices and  trim  mingled  with  a more  or  less  correct  use  of  dentils, 
modillions,  and  other  repeating  forms  from  the  classic  tradition.  A 
greater  sophistication  is  noticeable  in  a careful  study  of  plan  decora- 
tion and  proportion. 

It  is  in  this  period  that  many  very  large  houses  were  built,  since  the 
time  \>as  one  of  considerable  prosperity.  Communication  with  Eng- 
land was  steady  and  increasing,  and  ideas  of  sophisticated  living 
were  taking  root  among  the  more  well-to-do  colonists. 

This  particular  period  in  the  history  of  the  architecture  carried 
through  until  the  Revolution.  The  years  of  war  interrupted  both  the 


VII 


Introduction 


influx  of  new  ideas  from  abroad  and  the  growth  of  wealth.  When 
again  the  country,  now  an  independent  nation,  began  to  think  of 
building,  the  taste  of  Europe  had  changed  and  the  changed  influence 
was  felt  in  the  United  States. 

This  work  of  the  last  part  of  the  eighteenth  and  early  part  of  the 
nineteenth  century  confesses  an  increased  attenuation  and  refinement 
in  line,  proportion,  and  detail.  It  followed  as  closely  as  possible  the 
ultra  sophistication  of  the  work  of  Robert  Adam  which  its  designers 
knew  by  means  of  published  works  which  were  current  in  this  country. 

In  plan,  in  carefully  studied  elevations,  in  delicate  detail,  and  in 
fine  proportion  these  houses  present  the  natural  goal  of  the  changes 
and  development  of  the  preceding  seventy-five  years. 

The  interiors,  lofty  and  well  proportioned,  were  chastely  enhanced 
with  delicate  trim.  The  cornices  and  mantelpieces  were  often  en- 
riched by  the  application  of  composition  ornament,  reminiscent  of 
the  Adam  Brothers,  the  detail  of  this  ornament  relying  upon  the 
rejuvenated  forms  of  late  Roman  motives.  Paneling  was  restricted 
to  the  walls  below  the  chair-rail  and  to  the  overmantel  and  sides  of 
the  chimney-breast. 

In  plan,  the  space  relation  of  rooms  one  to  another  and  their 
variety  in  shape — circular,  octagonal,  and  oval  as  well  as  rectangular 
— marked  a greater  self-consciousness  in  the  academic  study  of  design. 

The  governmental  usage  of  the  new  country  gave  opportunity 
for  more  monumental  forms  of  building  than  anything  hitherto  at- 
tempted, and  the  types  of  governmental  architecture  laid  the  founda- 
tion for  the  best  tradition  which  we  have  for  republican  state  and 
national  building. 

And  here  lies  the  chief  importance  of  this  old  work  which  has 
again  come  into  its  own.  It  holds  a vital  message  for  the  American 
architect  to-day. 

The  nineteenth  century  saw  the  complete  breakdown  in  the  great 
tradition  in  building  which  had  continued,  up  to  then,  unbroken.  This 
breakdown  was  so  complete  that  at  the  opening  of  the  twentieth  cen- 
tury no  trace  of  a tradition  remained.  The  efforts  of  the  architects 
of  this  comparatively  recent  time  lead,  in  the  search  of  a tradition,  to 
the  trying  out  of  every  sort  of  architectural  style  of  the  past.  Among 
those  attempted  was  the  so-called  Colonial  with  results  which  appear 
to-day,  so  often,  murderous.  But  the  study  of  early  American  archi- 


VIII 


Introduction 


tecture  continued,  and  many  people  will  not  hesitate  to  admit  that  the 
qualities  inherent  in  the  work  of  our  forefathers  are  those  which  have 
a real  congeniality  with  the  conditions  and  life  of  this  country.  Par- 
ticularly in  domestic  work  is  this  true,  and  the  successful  houses  built 
in  the  early  American  tradition  certainly  outnumber  by  far  those  built 
in  any  purely  European  style. 

No  slavish  copying  of  the  old  work  will  produce  sincere  and  living 
architecture,  but  the  greatest  element  of  instruction  to  be  gained  from 
the  study  of  such  interiors  as  are  shown  in  this  volume  lies  in  an  ap- 
preciation of  how  our  early  builders  translated  the  forms  of  Euro- 
pean work  into  a vernacular  which  they  so  well  understood. 

With  a general  knowledge  of  the  origin  of  the  forms  from  which 
these  builder-architects  derived  their  inspiration,  it  is  not  difficult  to 
learn  just  where  they  chose  to  simplify  or  where  to  elaborate  upon 
the  original.  Freely  they  juggled  the  elements  of  their  form  and  dec- 
oration, their  scale  and  proportion.  Sometimes  they  erred,  more  often 
they  attained  a distinctive  character  which  more  knowing  men  could 
not  achieve,  but  always  they  were  sincere  and  always  imbued  with  a 
high  ideal. 

In  urging,  then,  a return  to  the  old  tradition  which  for  two  hun- 
dred years  thrived  happily  in  American  soil,  we  are  not  interested 
alone  in  the  forms  in  which  this  tradition  expressed  itself,  but  we  are 
equally  concerned  with  the  ideals  and  ideas  behind  it,  which  gave  it 
its  particular  flavor  so  well  suited  to  the  tastes  and  usage  of  Amer- 
icans both  now  and  of  yore.
